Good Afternoon,

May I claim 37, 38 and 39?

All yours!

Hello. I would like to read Section 31 if available. Thanks!
Very best regards,
Will

Welcome to Librivox, Will!
It would be great to have you record section 31 for this project (Family Prayers). It looks like you've just passed your 1 minute test recording which means you are ready to go. Don't forget in all future recordings to make any changes that were suggested when you did the test recording (eg: if you needed to amplify, you'll need to do that for every section you submit).

In order to assign a section to you in the Magic Window (MW) of this project, I've entered you into the database of readers. Your reader page is accessible here and a list of your assigned sections is here (you might want to bookmark it). Your claim is confirmed - you have one month to submit section 31. Looking forward to hearing your section and have you help out with this project!

Some common questions that new readers ask:

• Footnotes: They are optional. You can read all, some or none. An easy way to mark them is to say 'footnote' then read the footnote then say 'end footnote'.
• Quotes: You can mark these by saying 'quote' then reading the quote and then saying 'end quote'. You can decide whether to say quote at all - sometimes it will be clear from context. I'd suggest saying it if the quotation spans multiple sentences.
• Non-English phrases: We do have to read them. You could 1) pronounce it however you want 2) post in this thread and ask for someone to record it for you so you can either mimic it or splice it into your own recording 3) try Forvo for individual words or the sound icon on Google Translate for a text to speech version to copy.
• Roman numerals: Read these as their corresponding number.
• Abbreviations: You can choose to expand these or not to. You could say 'e.g' or 'for example'.
• Heading numbering: Sometimes books use roman numerals and digits for two different levels of headings. I think a good solution to this is to say 'first, second' etc. for roman numeral headings (I, II etc.) and 'one, two' etc. for digit headings (1, 2 etc.).

Good Afternoon,

Section 47 is ready for PL:

https://librivox.org/uploads/brownrottger/familyprayers_47_palmer_128kb.mp3

Some more good recordings.

Sections 46 and 47 are PL OK.

Notes on section 45:
please delete a small amount of silence at the start so that it is between 0.5 and 1 second in length
please delete about 2 seconds of silence at the end so that there are about 5 seconds of silence

Thanks,

M

I'm ok with either option so it can be marked PL OK

Great. Thank you.

Hello, here is section 1 for PL. Recording length is 7:55. Thank you.

https://librivox.org/uploads/brownrottger/familyprayers_01_palmer_128kb.mp3

Good job with the reading.

A few simple fixes and this should be PL OK.

please add about 0.5 seconds of silence to the start so that there is between 0.5 and 1 second of silence there
please add a little over 2 seconds of silence to the end so that there are about 5 seconds of silence there.
7:47 and 7:49 are repeats of "Our Father" second one should be replaced by "etc"

The following are suggestions for future recordings. You do not need to change the items below for this recording.
The volume is ok but on the low side at a little over 86 dB. You might want to consider amplifying future recordings by 2-3 dB to get them near the LibriVox ideal of 89 dB.
The level of background noise is ok but on the high side of acceptable. In future you might want to do some noise reduction on the recordings to lower this level.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

M

Thank you for your feedback, I'll work on my volume and noise issues. Please see the revised file.

Notes:

Did you rerecord the section? Please let me know if you did so, and I'll listen to the whole thing again.

If not, please see the following:

• The filename needs to be corrected. It should be the same filename as was used previously: familyprayers_01_palmer_128kb
  The noise level is now higher than LibriVox standards so please reduce it by running noise reduction on the file.
  Need to add "end of section 1 before the 5 seconds of silence at the end."

The requested changes were made.

Thanks M, I’m confused though - did you make the requested changes or do I still need to do that? I did not re-record the entire section.

I just thought I'd ask as the noise level had increased since the first time around and the "end of section 1" was missing from the second upload.
So the 3 changes mentioned above in the list are what is pending. Everything else if fine.

Thanks,

M
